  • GreenCommerce is the number one solution for all commercial

    parties active in the fresh produce sector that want to effectively and

    efficiently automate their company’s operational processes.

    GreenCommerce was built specifically for businesses that are involved

    in the fruit and vegetable sector. The core of the system consists out of

    functionalities related to the commercial purchaseandsales processes,

    real-time inventories and the production processes. All inventory

    logging is done based on batches, but it’s also possible to log specific

    actions at the level of pallets.

    On top of the stable core functionalities that Greencommerce offers,

    it is also possible to make use of several extra module-packages such

    as operating profits per company, transport planning, quality control,

    tracking and tracing, warehouse management and many more. These

    packages can be used in a flexible manner and combined in almost

    every possible way in order to perfectly align with the processes in your

    company.

    Because of it’s strong position in the fruit and vegetable sector and it’s

    overall flexibility, GreenCommerce is a very suitable solution for every

    business that is involved in the sector.

    GreenCommerce

  • TaxesExporters, Trade organizations

    01

    Benefits

    Easy administration of articles and packaging materials

    Saves time because taxes are processed automatically

    Waste and packaging taxes are client-specific

    Tax can be found on the invoice via a separate line or is processed in the colli prices

  • 5

    Customers and government agencies are increasingly demanding a

    separate tax for the processing of waste and the use of packaging (such as

    the German Verpackungsgesetz).

    Within GreenCommerce, we have developed a solution to reserve taxes

    so that you can always cover these possible taxes in your result. Thus,

    do you want to get a full grip on waste and packaging taxes? Then the

    Taxes-package is a valuable addition for your system. With this package,

    the administration becomes an integrated part of GreenCommerce,

    nonetheless it is possible to indicate which tax should be collected on a

    customer-specific level.

    Challenge for businesses

    In the Netherlands, companies that place packaged products on the market

    are legally obliged to pay packaging tax. Because there is no standard

    percentage for each item and customer, this often takes more time than

    desired.

    Moreover, in a number of countries within Europe, companies are

    required to pay “waste tax” (such as the German Verpackungsgesetz) to

    the government. This requires that a tax rate for one-off packaging of

    purchased or used items needs to be calculated; which results in more

    administrative work.

    GreenCommerce solution

    With this expansion, you get more control over different forms of waste

    and packaging taxes. The taxes can be set-up per material and customer,

    as well as the way in which these should be paid or charged. The solution

    lowers the error sensitivity and ensures that you can work more efficiently.

    02

    Benefits

    Clear insight in commercial and financial situations by creating dashboards with graphs

    that you can customize to your own liking

    Fast availability of data, without delays in your GreenCommerce

    Data is extracted from GreenCommerce, then converted and loaded into a model. It

    offers the possibility to work with e.g. Microsoft’s PowerBI

  • 7

    Do you want to be able to see all your commercial and financial data at one

    glance, without having to spend a large amount of time putting results in

    Excel in order to compare the numbers with former years? We have already

    done this for you with the Datawarehouse package. Insight in data has never

    been so important. This package is made to derive valuable data from

    GreenCommerce and turn it into informative overviews and reports. The

    package will create an overall better financial and commercial overview. As

    well as delivering easy available data, that you can use to visualize in your

    own Business Intelligence tool, we have developed a preset of dashboards

    in Microsoft’s PowerBI that you can use right off the bat.

    Challenge for businesses

    So much data is collected from software packages that it is becoming

    increasingly difficult to extract valuable information from it. Retrieving data

    often takes a lot of time, which usually causes delay in the speed of the

    system.

    GreenCommerce solution

    With the Datawarehouse package you can compare different types of

    data quickly and easily. You will derive valuable commercial and financial

    overviews without losing speed of your GreenCommerce. You will get

    optimal insight into processes and you can easily work through large

    amounts of data. The dashboards and overviews can be arranged to your

    own wishes, which means you can decide yourself which data is most

    valuable to your organization. With help from these data dashboards, the

    entire sales and marketing strategy can be optimized, as well as the financial

    process.

    03

    Benefits

    Clear overview of costs, returns and results

    Resources are easily entered and being passed on to customers

    It is possible to indicate per batch or purchase if it serves a handling order

    Costs and returns can be booked on a handling-batch

    Handling-invoices are taken into account during facturation

    It is possible to record per batch, purchase- or sales order and to know who the owner of the product is

    Possibility to buy a batch (partly or wholly) and to include it in the results

  • 9

    Are you a full-on service provider or do you occasionally perform a

    service for another party? Do you for example provide storage for

    third parties or do you repackage products for them? The Services

    package is specially made for companies that provide services for

    others and consider it important to record resources (such as boxes

    or stickers, but also labor) that are being used for orders from clients.

    The handling functionality is ideal for companies that repackage,

    save or process goods from third parties. The services in this case

    are the revenues that can be invoiced.

    Challenge for businesses

    All kinds of resources are used during work in a production hall;

    think of manual labor, boxes, stickers, packaging material or

    extra pallets. It is important for service companies to record what

    resources are used for client orders, so that insight is gained into

    the costs, revenues and results achieved. It is also important that

    the repackaging process for third parties is well under control. This

    sometimes goes by whole containers at the same time but also with

    smaller, daily numbers that are being processed. Overviews that go

    to customers must either be provided with information from your

    own company or with the information from the owner.

    GreenCommerce solution

    With these functionalities it is possible to document services and

    materials used and charge them as soon as the product is owned by

    other parties. Moreover, the owner per batch is set and the system

    keeps the stock separate. In addition, the booked services can be

    invoiced to the owners with the correct order-references. The return

    can then be fully specified per batch.

    03. Services

  • Digital communicationExporters, Trade organizations, Importers,

    Growers associations

    04

    Benefits

    A connection with FreshBabel Messenger that ensures that messages about orders,

    shipments, transport, etc. are digitally loaded into your GreenCommerce, or in the

    system of your client or supplier

    Possibility to compile Excel templates that can be used to import purchase-

    and sales orders

    Possibility to load XML files and convert them into purchase- and sales orders

    No more retyping of e.g. purchase- and sales orders into your system

  • 11

    Are you tired of retyping orders into your system? Do you want to

    load these and other incoming messages automatically into your

    system? Then the “Digital communication” package can save you

    a lot of time! More and more retailers are imposing stricter

    requirements on suppliers in the field of digital communication.

    Important work processes, such as incoming or outgoing orders,

    shipments and invoices can be handled automatically and efficiently

    with this package (by means of digital communication with

    customers). Messages about orders, shipments and invoices can be

    exchanged in a universal way through our integrated connection to

    FreshBabel Messenger. Retyping of these messages will be a thing

    of the past.

    Challenge for businesses

    More and more companies are able to communicate digitally about

    both commercial and logistical data. In addition, the retail sector

    is placing increasingly strict demands on suppliers around digital

    communication; purely to professionalize and speed up the process.

    In order to be able to communicate appropriately with customers, it

    is important to comply with these requirements.

    GreenCommerce solution

    Various EDI messages (Electronic Data Interchange) are supported

    by GreenCommerce, both for incoming and outgoing messages.

    This saves time as the process of manually entering orders into the

    system will disappear. It is also possible to load Excel sheets and

    XML files from suppliers easily into the system, so that orders can be

    processed quickly and correctly. The connection with FreshBabel

    Messenger ensures clear digital communication in the area of

    relationships (GLN), item designations (GTIN), location designations

    (GLN), track and trace information (GGN, QS1 SSCC), etc.

    04. Digital communication

  • ExportExporters

    05

    Benefits

    During export it is possible to send all export requirements directly (per country and

    product)

    Through a connection with e-CertNL, export requests can be entered directly via KCb

    declarations

    Tracking and tracing can be processed per country

    For each production order, it is possible to specify various countries of origin

    (interesting for mixed-products)

    A separate screen with export administration to which customs can be linked

  • 13

    Do you often export products within and outside the EU (and

    therefore also to the UK in case of a Brexit)? Then this package is

    a perfect addition to your GreenCommerce. When exporting to

    a non-EU country, fresh fruit and vegetables must be inspected

    by the Quality Control Bureau (KCB in Dutch). Export data can be

    automatically sent to the KCB through a connection with e-CertNL.

    In addition, it is possible to register multiple countries of origin to

    a finished production order. When there are products used from

    several countries (such as grapes from the Netherlands, Spain and

    Germany), the owner can always be traced back to the right country

    (or countries) and can be communicated to the customer. The

    origin of a batch, throughout the entire process, is therefore kept

    up to date and constantly repeated, making optimum tracing of a

    product always possible.

    Challenge for businesses

    To be able to export a product to a non-EU country, fruit and

    vegetable exporters need to submit export data electronically

    towards the KCB. This is a rather error-prone and time-consuming

    process. Moreover, the KCB demands more and more information

    about the country of origin and traceability when importing goods.

    This information is not always readily available.

    GreenCommerce solution

    Via this integrated functionality within GreenCommerce, export data

    can be sent automatically to the KCB. In addition, it is made possible

    to register the countries of origin with a production order, so you

    can always know the right country and trace your goods.

    05. Export

  • External locationsExporters, Trade organizations, Importers,

    Transporters, Growers associations, Packers

    06

    Benefits

    Multiple locations to create a separation in inventories

    Easy administration as sales processes run automatically

    Monitoring external locations by means of automatically-sent pickinglists,

    delivery notes, etc.

    By selecting multiple detours, it is possible to confirm delivery of multiple

    orders in one go

  • 15

    Doesn’t your company have its own warehouse or does your

    company use external locations to keep stock separate? Do you want

    this process to go as quickly and smoothly as possible? Than the

    “External locations” package can add a lot of value for you! When

    working with external locations, the items do not physically end up

    in your own warehouse; this stock is administratively stored so that

    it can be purchased or sold. Administrative actions can be easily

    carried out while working at the pallet level!

    Challenge for businesses

    The administrative tasks that come along when loading from an

    external location is a time-consuming process and inefficient.

    GreenCommerce solution

    This expansion to GreenCommerce selects the best available pallets

    on the external location and processes it in a loading. The external

    location can then be controlled with the correct loading and order-

    picking information. This eliminates a lot of administrative tasks. In

    addition, a lot of time can be saved by selecting multiple detours to

    external locations and to confirm delivery via one button.

    financial package

    Accepts connections with Twinfield, Exact, Exact Online, Opera, AccountView,

    MultiVers, King and Quadra

  • 17

    Get your financial administration in order with the Financial advanced-

    package. Did you split your articles into products and elements?

    Do you want the invoiced amount to be evenly split into product,

    elements and all other surcharges to be registered separately

    (bonus, profit, tax, etc.)? With this package it is possible to use the

    sub-invoice lines. This is made for both purchase- and sales invoices.

    This package also includes the processing of transactions per ledger

    towards a financial package. Finally, the package offers a link with

    Blue10, with which the incoming invoices (via PDF in your mailbox)

    can be automatically filtered in your financial package.

    Challenge for businesses

    Detailed information about a purchase or sale of an item is

    increasingly being requested from customers and/or management.

    The invoice often only shows the final amount that must be paid,

    but not how these costs are put together.

    GreenCommerce solution

    The sub-invoice lines provide detailed information that is often not

    mentioned on invoices. The sub-invoice lines ensure that the total

    amount is split into different cost items. This information can easily

    be imported into your own financial package. In addition, invoices

    and packing slips can be processed via Blue10 in GreenCommerce.

    Inspection reports can be made on location and are directly available

    Inspection is done by means of party numbers, pallet numbers or those of the supplier

    Processing of inspection-results in your own stock by means of inspection-codes per party or pallet

    Developed for Android and iOS

  • 19

    Do you want to guarantee optimum quality of your products? From

    now on it is possible to do inspections with your phone or tablet, via

    the FreshTracker app, and share information throughout the entire

    chain. With the FreshTracker package you can scan pallets and

    immediately capture important inspection information, anywhere in

    the world.

    Challenge for businesses

    Quality control is becoming increasingly important within the fresh

    produce sector. Not just because of the increasing demands of

    customers but also because of stricter food safety requirements.

    Thereby, stock is often physically spread over multiple locations,

    making it difficult to maintain a good overview.

    GreenCommerce solution

    With FreshTracker you are able to scan a pallet and immediately

    capture important inspection information, including photos of that

    pallet, anywhere in the world. Through the app, the test results can

    be used simply and directly throughout the entire chain, so that

    the traceability of the product is lifted to a higher level. In addition,

    there is a direct processing of the test results while the inspector is

    standing with the product. These results can be communicated and

    shared directly with customers and colleagues.

  • ElementsExporters, Importers,

    Transporters, Packers

    09

    Benefits

    Insight into physical and administrative stock (for elements)

    Inventory registration based on FIFO bookings

    Easy processing of elements that are not purchased but delivered without value

    Keeping up with outstanding balances of specific elements at the location of

    suppliers, customers and transporters

  • 21

    Easily arrange both your own elements-stock and the stock that is still

    with external parties with the Elements package. Because elements

    are often purchased in large numbers, it is commonly FIFO debited.

    FIFO registration offers a realistic picture of reality, and therefore

    ensures optimum control.

    Challenge for businesses

    Generally, most fresh produce companies use different types of

    elements on a daily basis. These elements are for day-to-day work

    sometimes placed with third parties, making it difficult to keep the

    actual stock up-to-date. In addition to maintaining physical elements,

    you also want to register all elements purchased by the company

    and used by a third party for the packaging process. You would also

    like to have these elements registered in your system. It can be a

    struggle to keep track the elements that already have been used, for

    which production orders or to who they have been loaded.

    GreenCommerce solution

    Registering different types of elements in GreenCommerce is made

    easier and more insightful because the stock can be updated per

    element. You gain insight into the used elements for production

    orders, which adds value for tracking and tracing. In addition, it is

    possible to move stock between multiple stock locations by doing

    detours. Specific price agreements and preferred suppliers can be

    set in advance.

    Does your association have multiple growers affiliated? Do you want

    an easy and efficient way to manage your growers and communicate

    with them? Then the GreenXchange package is the solution for you!

    GreenXchange automates daily business processes for growers and

    ensures an efficient way of communicating with partners. Thanks

    to linking possibilities, the platform is very suitable for fresh produce

    companies that centrally organize the sales activities for all their

    growers.

    Challenge for businesses

    Communicating and keeping track of business processes such

    as orders, stock, transport and managing cultivation data is still

    regularly done in old-fashioned ways. For fresh produce companies

    that centrally organize the sales activities for all their growers, it is a

    challenge to gain insight in for example stock and orders.

    GreenCommerce solution

    With GreenXchange you can easily and quickly gain control over

    cultivation activities. It is a communication platform where you can

    quickly process orders and stock, arrange transport and manage

    cultivation data, wherever and whenever you want. Because

    GreenXchange is linked is with GreenCommerce, it is very suitable

    for growers associations and sales organizations that take care of

    the sales for growers. As a sales organization, you can seamlessly

    connect with your growers and immediately gain insight into

    processed results.

  • 25

    Do you wish to have optimal control over your transit stock? And do

    you want to monitor the preliminary phase of your containers? Get

    a grip on the preliminary administration with the importers package,

    which helps you respond to changes in orders and time-schedules.

    In addition, it is possible to easily resell or clear transit products, and

    the extensive conflict-overview will give you insight into the impact

    of delayed deliveries.

    Challenge for businesses

    Many import shipments originate from non-EU countries and are

    under the Transit status. When the products have not yet been cleared

    through customs, but are already resold, this comes with troubles.

    An example of a trouble is the lack of clarity in the administration

    and no insight into the logistics process from containers to own

    locations. It is difficult to keep control over the transit stock and to

    record detailed data from the imported product.

    GreenCommerce solution

    With the importers package it is possible to record and track the

    airfreight and sea transport. In addition, the registration of additional

    documents and actions such as shared containers or the reselling

    under transit can be easily managed.

    11. Importers

    Benefits

    Extensive statements of incurred costs and revenues

    Account sales to pay suppliers

    Advanced statement-screens that provide insight into results per purchase order and batch

    Purchasing based on commission

    Possibility to import and process standard Excel and XML files

    Statements that show where purchases come from

    Control purchase facturation and costs

  • 27

    Are you looking for information where you can directly find the final

    customer of the batches that originate from your purchases? Even

    with repackaging assignments that result into mixed-products? The

    purchase advanced package offers the possibility to calculate these

    aspects into the result, which you can use in order to make data

    analyses.

    When a company purchases products, elements, packaging

    materials, etc. it is important for this process that everything runs

    smoothly. Subjects such as commission-based purchases, insight into

    purchase results and an easy purchase facturation are crucial for

    an efficient purchasing process. Furthermore, you can make one or

    multiple purchase and sales orders from Excel or XML files.

    Challenge for businesses

    When a product is often bought by a supplier, usually there are

    agreements made between the supplier and the trading company to

    pay at a later time, thus a commission-based payment (and to report

    back). It can be a real struggle to keep track of every supplier that has

    made an agreement. Furthermore, it is troubling to manually map

    out the exact costs and revenues and to remain a clear overview.

    Whenever a product is repacked and resorted after the first time,

    it will become even more challenging to manually map it out. For

    companies that purchase many products, it remains troubling to

    keep track of the origin of products.

    GreenCommerce solution

    For every purchase order it is possible to have insight into the

    purchase result, also when not everything has been sold to the

    end customer yet. For every batch, an extensive statement can

    be requested where you can exactly see if these were moved,

    repacked, sold, returned, etc. and what costs and revenues come

    with it. This will be directly visible in the purchasing facturation and

    costs. Thereafter, it is possible to import standard Excel and XML files

    in order to easily process them as a purchase- or sales order.

  • 29

    Do you regularly receive demands from accountants about product

    quality, registration of complaints and the needed certificates? It is

    very important that these subjects are smoothly solved. With this

    package, you are able to easily and clearly register complaints, date-

    codes and certification resources, in order to create clear overviews

    for yourself and your customers.

    Challenges for business

    Registering complaints can be troubling. Besides solving the problem,

    accountants are increasingly demanding more information. Many

    certifications are demanding insight into the working processes

    incl. the registration of complaints. The complaint procedure of a

    company usually is complicated, even for employees. Complaints

    are for example registered in different ways, making it hard to solve

    them. When sending date-codes it is important to be very precise in

    order to prevent mistakes.

    GreenCommerce solution

    With the quality and control package, the above mentioned troubles

    are non-existent, as there will be a central information source where

    all complaints made by all coworkers are registered in the same

    way, which gives clear insight. With the date-code functionality,

    date-codes are generated directly from GreenCommerce, which

    prevents mistakes made by using Excel sheets.

    Reserve items to manage your production department with product that may be used, so that your own stock remains stable

  • 31

    Does your company have its own warehouse? Do you want to

    manage it to its full capacity, without any errors in paper picking

    lists? The logistics advanced package makes this possible! In the

    fresh produce sector, companies often have their own warehouse

    to store products and elements, or for processes such as packing,

    loading and unloading. To keep all processes in these warehouses

    efficient and streamlined, GreenCommerce offers the logistics

    advanced package. The ELMO web app totally changes the working

    processes in the warehouse, because paper picking lists disappear

    completely during the order picking process. Logistics advanced

    is for both employees in the warehouse and for the office staff a

    valuable addition.

    Challenge for businesses

    When a stock manager wants to have pallets at a certain destination,

    for example for a production order or for a customer, it can be difficult

    to keep the stock right when this has not yet been processed. The

    same problem applies to items that must be reserved because the

    production order will only be executed later, but it is not yet certain.

    Furthermore, in a shed there is often still with paper picking lists, to-

    do lists and job orders worked to arrange the order picking process.

    This way of working can be very error prone, because changes

    or feedback often come later while the pick list has already been

    printed. Frustration and miscommunication between the office staff

    and the warehouse staff is part of this method work inevitable.

    GreenCommerce solution

    Paper picking lists are eliminated when working with the ELMO web

    app (which is directly linked to GreenCommerce). With ELMO, the

    order picking process is fully automated in a warehouse, controlled

    via mobile devices such as tablets and phones but also via desktops.

    From GreenCommerce it is possible to assign picking lists to

    specific order pickers, so only this or these picking list(s) end up in

    the order picker’s screen. Because ELMO is an online tool, changes

    can be implemented immediately and the order picker will receive

    a notification immediately in his screen. Users can link Bluetooth

    scanners to the mobile device which makes it easy to scan barcodes

    and therefore it is not needed to manually enter pallet numbers. To

    keep the overview in stock management, it is possible to reserve

    pallets for a specific destination in GreenCommerce such as the

    customer, a production order or for another location. In addition, it

    is possible to have articles reserved for a certain production order,

    without the inventory administration to be in shambles.

  • 33

    Insight into the progress of warehouse-activities is very valuable,

    especially in the production and loading halls. Many of these activities

    in the warehouse are eventually registered in GreenCommerce. With

    the WOS package, these data can be converted and the progress

    of various warehouse-activities, such as loading and production, are

    displayed in well-arranged screens.

    Challenge for businesses

    Most warehouse-activities, such as shipments and production

    orders, are created from the office. To remember all information

    such as end times, priority, status and other important information,

    can be a very error-prone and time-consuming job.

    GreenCommerce solution

    Via the screens that are displayed in the warehouse, employees can

    see the progress of loading and production in a clear overview.

    Benefits

    The administration of all companies can be divided per company, so that you can

    work perfectly next to each other

    Master data are company-specific so that you can use your own products or products

    that are shared between multiple companies

    Orders can be “placed at the other”, which automatically creates a purchase order at

    the other company

  • 35

    Does your company have multiple LTDs, that also trade a lot with

    each other? Then the Multicompany package is the solution for your

    company that want to work in one system with multiple companies.

    Also, when there is a lot of mutual trade, the package offers a lot of

    value, because you can easily switch between companies.

    Challenge for businesses

    When companies have multiple LTDs, it can be difficult and time-

    consuming to work from different systems, especially when there is

    a lot of mutual work or trade.

    GreenCommerce solution

    By classifying all LTDs within a company under one GreenCommerce,

    where the entire administration is separated per LTD, it is perfectly

    possible to work side by side, and a user (if allowed) can easily

    switch between companies. With mutual trade, orders are “placed

    at the other”, which automatically creates a purchase order at the

    other company. Adjustments to these orders can be passed on

    immediately so that the information is always correct.

    Create overview by registering outages directly in the production order

  • 37

    Get optimum insight when classifying the pallet stock and create a

    clear overview of the outages of articles, by registering them directly

    in the production order. Especially companies that process a lot of

    such production orders, and want to plan productions in advance or

    even want to use one resource planning to be able to record the

    number of employees per production order, benefit greatly from the

    Production advanced package.

    Challenge for businesses

    Making inventory schedules, schedules per machine and machine-

    line, and classifying labor are important but very time-consuming

    tasks. Also when companies actively work with pallet-stock, it is

    often unclear when pallets are used or simply ready for production.

    In addition, it regularly happens that a production order fails which

    means that more items are required at the time of completion than

    indicated in the first instance.

    GreenCommerce solution

    The classification of production orders and machine-lines becomes

    a lot easier with the resource planning. Production standards can be

    set for each item-group to indicate the progress with a number of

    employees. This makes it possible to see the expected duration of

    production in one glance. This is very valuable data when making

    a planning. To optimize the overview of pallet-stock, it is possible

    to first ‘prepare a pallet for production’ in GreenCommerce and

    actually book as used at a later date. Furthermore it is possible to

    register failure in an assignment. This is made clear through an extra

    tab where numbers can be seen and edited.

    Benefits

    Optimization in the cooperation between carriers and clients by sharing information

    with each other

    Full insight in the transport-assignments that you planned

    The transportal is online and therefore always available by any device

    As a transporter you import transport-assignments automatically (no more manual

    typing needed)

  • 39

    Do you want to exchange information quickly and effectively? With

    the Transportal package you can easily share one or more transport-

    assignments digitally with a transporter, so the transporter can digitally

    process this in his own system. This is how the transporter keep the

    transports manageable and keep his focus on the core business of

    transporting goods, instead of having to spend an enormous amount

    of time registering all details. Through this, changes become easy to

    manage and are done at the touch of a button to the connected

    carrier. Transporters can quickly anticipate.

    Challenge for businesses

    Manually entering transport-assignments is a time-consuming

    job and mistakes are easily made. In addition, the collaboration

    between carriers and other players in the fruit and vegetable

    industry is often becoming hampered by incomplete information or

    miscommunication.

    GreenCommerce solution

    Since transport-assignments for a transporter can be imported

    directly into the system, manually retyping this information is not

    needed anymore. You can also link your system to your transporters’

    systems to easily share information, for example about loading and

    unloading.

    Benefits

    Possible to directly create sales orders from future stock

    Send customer information and item-specific price lists directly from GreenCommerce

    Automatically keep up with the share of a supplier for a purchased party

    High traceability of the share of a supplier in case of a purchasing order

  • 41

    Are you looking for information where you can immediately see

    which supplier(s) were the original suppliers of your sale? Even

    with the intervention of repackaging-assignments that resulted into

    mixed products? Then “Sales advanced” offers the possibility to add

    this to the result and you can make data analyzes from it. In addition,

    to determine the (suppliers’) shares you also get the opportunity

    to see what the specific result is per sales order, during and after

    completion. The package also offers the option to sell from one

    clear inventory screen where extensive filtering is possible, price

    information is available and the order date is determined on the

    basis of the first available receipt of the required parties. Finally, this

    package also offers the function of making and sending price lists

    directly from GreenCommerce. The agreed prices are immediately

    visible with a sale so that there is no misunderstanding about the

    price and the seller (combined with daily prices) can determine his

    negotiating space.

    Challenge for businesses

    When a price list is sent to a customer, and they contact you or

    another colleague, it can be confusing to look up the right price at

    the right numbers without taking too much time. Errors are quickly

    made in a hurried price determination, which results in missing out

    on revenues. In addition, it is often not possible to sell future stock

    to the customer when this has to be registered in the system. In the

    production of a order, it often happens that part of a batch is used,

    resulting in the remaining articles to be merged with another party.

    When this happens a number of times, it will be a big challenge to

    keep the traceability up-to-date.

    GreenCommerce solution

    Via a specially developed screen you can sell directly from (future)

    stock. When the party finally enters the warehouse, the sale is

    automatically taken from the administrative stock, so that the

    system will always display the correct numbers. Furthermore, it is

    determined for each purchasing party for which percentage (which

    share) a specific supplier is responsible for the items. With a split

    or converted party it is then always possible to find the specific

    supplier and the party that it came in (source). It is then possible

    to create and send customer-specific and article-specific price lists

    from GreenCommerce, and the costs and income distribution per

    (completed) sales order can be mapped in detail.
